1. I'm so glad my weekly fix of reality television is coming to an end tonight. I am done. I loved watched DWTS and am so glad at the newest winner but I hate how the judges/producers tried to swing the votes so the little Disney star, conveniently DWTS is also on ABC...the parent company of Disney...would win. They seemed to think that all of us viewers are just so dumb we didn't see what they were trying to do. Also glad that she came in 3rd last night. As for American Idol...last night's show was so boring! I really don't care who wins at this point. I will miss Steven Tyler, however.
2. There was a little bird on the empty lot next to my house and every time we walked too closely she would get her feathers literally ruffled and start chirping and coming toward us. Unfortunately, the new construction on the lot next to the lot next to me was probably not factored into her plans of egg protection. Yesterday we noticed that the bird is gone and so are two of the four eggs. I am truly sad and I miss that poor little bird.
3. Is anyone else irritated by Marie Osmond's laugh? She laughs all. the. time. and it makes my skin crawl. Marie: stop the nervous, annoying laugh! Not EVERYTHING is so damn funny. Oh, and the corniness of watching Donny AND Marie together is equally irritating in their endless teasing and bantering. Makes me want to claw my eyes out. Someone make them stop. They are not THAT cute anymore.
4. I can't have gummy worms in the house because apparently I love them more than trees and birds combined and will eat them all until they are gone. I need help. Gummy worm help.
5. I drove by a fifth wheel in our neighborhood and I wish we had something like that. It would be fun to camp in one...
6. Two more weeks of school. Thank God. I am DONE. I want to sleep in. I am tired of making lunches. And I'm bloody tired of homework and projects and kids that need to go to the library so they can put together power point presentations. I think school should start maybe mid-August because by then I will be ready for them all to go back (so fickled, me) and get out before Mother's Day because by the middle of May I am so over school.
7. I don't watch Survivor anymore but I did hear that "Boston Rob" won. I think that guy has been on that show several times. Is this a career of his? I mean, granted, he made a ton of money but what must his resume look like? A career playing head games on a beach somewhere remote with only rice to eat and backs to stab. His parents must be so proud.
8. I hate the wind.
9. There is one crazy mom who has been driving me nuts this entire school year. She is not only mean (several times I have stepped off the curb and she just drives right on through the crosswalk) and rude (she gives some impressive dirty looks) but her and I apparently have a push-pull relationship. I bug her. She bugs me back. It's super fun. When I see her coming I hope there is a child I could cross just so I can hold her up a wee bit. Hey, I'm thinking about the children! In the meantime, if I can hold that witch up, I am glad to provide my services.
Last week as the tardy bell rang and my "time" ended I crossed the street to gather the cones but before I grabbed them out of the street I stopped to talk to a mom for awhile. I noticed that Witchy Woman was parked (she had dropped off her son seconds before the tardy bell, typical) behind one of my cones. WW didn't move. I talked to this mom and I could see she was just sitting there, which I thought was incredibly odd. I continued to talk to this woman. WW continued to sit in her car. The mom walks away, I grab the cone from in front of WW car and no sooner do I grab it out of the street, she drives away. As if it was too much trouble to turn her steering wheel and drive off, she had to wait until the coast in front of her was clear. Freaky bitch. And mildly unsettling.
10. Today is Oprah's last show. I can't say that I am overly obsessed with Oprah. Occasionally I will catch her show if a topic interests me but otherwise I seldom watch these days. (In fact, at times I find her to be a bit too full of herself. Perhaps having billions does that to a person. Yuck.) However, I remember one of Oprah's first shows. I was sitting in a hospital bed in Hollywood in late October at the age of twenty recuperating from having my gallbladder out and I flipped on the television and watched Oprah.
